Nowadays, education is a hot topic. The clashes ensuing in schools across the country line the columns of widely-read newspapers. It can be difficult for readers to wholly understand the social, cultural, and political ideas at work. Rosiak’s book takes convoluted ideas and makes them accessible.
Luke Rosiak, the foremost investigative reporter focusing on education in the U.S., breaks down what has occurred behind the scenes; consulting firms pushing equity profiting immensely at the expense of genuine learning; administrators inflating data to cover their own paychecks; teachers unions putting their own interests in front of children; parents being belittled for daring to care about curricula; and more.
This book, like other prominent commentators and writers have suggested, is an “indictment” of the American education system. It offers story after story, communicating to the reader how big government and big business, endlessly infatuated with their own self-serving goals, have stood to collude to push their own agenda. This agenda, unfortunately, has led to the decline of math and reading – and assisted teachers and administrators to receive higher wages for work that deserves no applause in a healthy country.
But this is the point of Rosiak’s book. The K-12 system is operating in an unhealthy way – an unsustainable way. The book is comprehensive – putting quantifiable evidence at the forefront of explaining the politicization of education. If there is any silver lining to this reporting, it is that the problems have largely been identified, and it is up to legislators to enact direct changes to protect vulnerable children at the mercy of a bloated bureaucratic state.
As an intern for Luke at The Daily Wire, I've seen firsthand behind the scenes his efforts to expose corruption and fraud at the highest levels. What this book does is push the conversation forward surrounding education today – and poke everyday Americans to consider the possibility they are being led by opportunists who recognize the power of language distortion. Read the book to gain a much-needed perspective on the state of American education; to understand the many stories across the U.S. that, often, are interconnected in a salute to a disturbing postmodern agenda that is not championing students and parents: but rather an educational deep-state.
Like Rosiak’s other book “Obstruction of Justice: How the Deep State Risked National Security to Protect the Democrats,” there is no happy ending. But perhaps there could be – as all of the complexities he outlines continue to occur on a daily basis – should Americans gain a foundational awareness about these issues.
These issues are not going away, not now at least, but his book provides a blueprint for what you should know.

Best book that I have read in a long time!
I picked the book up randomly, and it is a true 5 star must read. The author clearly reveals how public school administrators and school board members manipulate statistics and have an obsession with proving that the students can pass standardized tests. Surprisingly corrupt and self serving board members are so focused on an illusion that is smoke and mirrors and our most vulnerable students are only given a “kill and drill”, practice on tests, and it is all meaningless. Real educational resources and learning is sacrificed. I learned do not take local politics and school board policies for granted, assuming that the focus is critical learning and problem solving. Honestly, the book has changed my thinking and I will become vigilant in taking a much closer look on what is really happening without schools.
